The list of artists for Okwui Enwezor’s “All the World’s Futures” at the 2015 Venice Biennale has been released. The show consists of over 136 artists from fifty-three countries, and will feature a space for live programming in the Central Pavilion designed by David Adjaye called The Arena.

“The linchpin of this program will be the epic live reading of all three volumes of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital,” Enwezor states. “Here, Das Kapital will serve as a kind of Oratorio that will be continuously read live, throughout the exhibition’s seven months’ duration.”

The Biennale has also commissioned Kara Walker to direct a new production of Vincenzo Bellini's Norma (1831), which will be staged at La Fenice Opera House. The fifty-sixth edition of the Venice Biennale opens May 9 with previews beginning May 6, and runs through November 22. ]]
